(Genesis 1:27a) So God created human beings in his own image.

My character is suppose to have my heavenly father’s image…he gave me a conscience with the ability to know what is right and to know what is wrong.  Frequently I choose to walk the very narrow line in the middle.

So I pray for wisdom and discernment to keep my mouth shut and a willingness to give grace not just mercy.  I pray daily for you for wisdom and discernment to know God’s direction in your life.

Luv Ya!

I know I can’t always be in a happy frame of mind because my circumstances are ever changing.  I can always find joy in all situations because I know the source of my joy is never changing.  Happiness is fleeting, joy is permanent…it’s my choice.

Psalm 30:5b    Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.   I am praying for you to KNOW JOY in tears or in smiles.

Luv Ya!

Usually, when things (or people) pile up to frustrate me beyond measure I do a lot of whining and complaining.  This year I made a decision to use my treasure of common sense and stop whining and complaining; easier said than done.  I have asked God to change my heart every time I have a critical or negative thought.  It’s only been 12 days but I see a change…in me.  God always grants your heart’s desire when you line up your goals at his feet.

I pray for you daily that your goals are in line with his for you.

Luv Ya!

A new year reminds me of when I first invited Christ into my heart.  I want to always be sure that my heart is a place where Christ comes first and is my true treasure.

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.(matt 6:21nlt)

Then I see how far a field I have gone and I could fall into despair but I don’t because one of my favorite Bible writers reminds me that I don’t have to wait for a new year….the Lord offers renewal daily.

….your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew. (psm 110:3nlt)

How great is that to know?   I pray daily for you to get that knowledge, that assurance from the Word.

Luv Ya!

Luke 10:27

At year’s end, I checked my heart and found it had fallen short.  I cried out to my savior, “change my heart, change my heart!”   I pray daily that the Lord blesses you with your heart’s desire.   

Happy New Year Beloved
